Very knowledgeable , compassionate and thorough attorney

Michelle is very knowledgeable , compassionate and thorough attorney who represented me in criminal case. From the day I talked to her, I felt that I am on right track to have good outcome, and I was not wrong. Her advice was spot on and it help me lot. She gave me her phone number and she was qu...ick to return phone calls and messages. She is very familiar with how court works and she achieved best possible outcome for me. I highly recommend Michelle A. Fioravanti.

Great attorney for a juvenile case!

We hired Michelle one year ago for a juvenile case. Our first conversation lasted about 1 1/2 hrs as she listened to every detail. We were dealing with an over zealous state trooper for our son giving the DA a false impression. After a year of battling we finally got the result we were hoping for and... deserved. She advised us every step of the way making a stressful situation alittle better for our family. We would highly recommend her for any juvenile matter. I don't typically write reviews. In fact this is about the third review I ever done. We felt Michelle was worthy of this and deserved some credit for her fight. I should also mention her fees are very reasonable for the average person and she doesn't tack on small fees along the way that most others tend to do. She also gave us her cell phone for any questions we had or updates after office hours. That's almost unheard of today.

Reality Failed To Live Up To The Reviews

Ms. Fioravanti was very understanding and responsive when I first contacted her regarding my case, and her price was very reasonable. She told me that a significant distinction between her and other attorneys was that she was friends with the D.A. for they worked together in the past. Everything soun...ded great, until the day of my hearing. In the weeks leading up to my hearing, Ms. Fioravanti assured me that all aspects of my case were under control. She kept reassuring me that I was "a sure candidate for entrance into the ARD program". When I was denied entrance into ARD on the day of my hearing, Ms. Fioravanti told me that I was denied due to circumstances which were recorded on the police report from my arrest. Ms. Fioravanti had ready access to these documents way before my trial. When I asked about her relation to the D.A., she told me that she is not friends with the D.A., but she does "have a friend in the D.A.'s office". This is a case of failed expectations. I don't want to go to jail, nobody does. However, I also don't have a problem owning my actions and accepting the punishment for those foolish actions. I do have a problem with Ms. Fioravanti failing to adequately prepare for my trial, and I do have a problem with being lied to from day 1 on unverifiable credentials. Overall, I'm just disappointed with this lawyer's services, and I do not recommend that you let her represent you for your DUI case.

Excellent!!!!!

FANTASTIC! I actually hired Michelle after reviewing client reviews from this site avvo.com for a DUI case I was charged with in May 2013. Michelle was an expert and professional in handling my DUI and criminal mischief case. The case went to trial finally today and her knowledge and confidence in ...the courtroom was executed in an advocacy and humble manner while aggressively fighting for me. Her experience with Philadelphia courts lends to providing excellent legal advice in how we should proceed at every stage of the case. She involves the client in the legal process and provides all possible outcomes directly and honestly, along with her recommendation, but allowing the client to be the decision maker. She then fights for what the client decides. Michelle was available at all times to consult with me, even when I was going through my breakdowns regarding the case. I highly recommend Michelle Fioravanti! Today she saved all the hard work I have put forth into my professional career because her expertise got all charges dismissed! I not only thank her but recommend her!!

Highly professional and knowledgeable

A friend and I were put in a bad situation. Locked outside our friend's apartment in downtown Philadelphia, recently robbed, only remaining phone was dead and it was 3 in the morning. A window got broken in our attempt to get into the apartment and we were arrested for burglary. Ms. Fioravanti ste...pped in and gave us sound advice. We were both given probation and ARD with all charges to be expunged at the end of one year. She did a fantastic job and got us out of quite a mess. Highly professional but sympathetic to your situation. Thank you for the help Michelle, I plan to never need your services again but I would recommend you to any friend in trouble.
